Guessing eBay or equivalent would have the X710-DA4 ... haven't looked
myself, but it's my go-to for less-common but still valuable devices.

If you want to use the X410 as 4x 10 GbE links (and NOT 1x 100 GbE link),
then you might consider the Intel XL710-QDA2 [2]. It provides 2 QSFP+ (40
GbE as 4x 10 GbE) ports, but limits the aggregate links to 40 GbE -- which
can be (I think) all on a single port or spread between them. To use this
NIC, you'd need 1:4 breakout cables -- probably 2 of them just to make sure
all 4 links are accounted for regardless of the NIC settings. Note that
there is a bug in the 700-series NIC Linux driver that Intel knows about
but says they will not be fixing, since their forward-looking development
is on the 800-series drivers; this bug limits max aggregate data rates
going through the Linux kernel to something like 4 GB/s (I don't recall the
exact number, but it's reasonably high enough that most USRP users will not
be impacted by it).

If you want to use the X410 as 4x 10 GbE links rather than 1x 100 GbE link
(or possibly both), then you might consider the Intel E810 CQDA1 (or CQDA2)
NIC [3] along with a QSFP+ <-> QSFP+ cable (or QSFP28, but if you're just
using 10 GbE links then QSFP+ is sufficient). You would then use the Intel
Ethernet Port Configuration Tool [1] to set the NIC as 4x10 and use the
X4_200 FPGA image on the X410 USRP to match the 4x10 GbE links on both ends.

Note that for branding, the USRP's QSFP+/28 ports are vendor agnostic.
Hence, you can just select compatibility with respect to the NIC's branding
(e.g., Intel or Mellanox or whatever).

One place I regularly purchase from is FS ... here's a links to their items
per what I've noted:

[2] XL710-QDA2

* Cable (3m) QSFP+ <-> 4xSFP+, Intel branded :

I hope this is useful! - MLD
